Rookie quarterback Josh Freeman said he is ready to "let it rip," in his first NFL start Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
"I feel really comfortable with the offense right now. I've been working really hard with (offensive coordinator Greg) Olson and I feel comfortable with a lot of the guys I'm throwing to. I just want to go out there and let it rip."
At 21, Freeman will become the youngest quarterback to start for the Bucs when he makes his long-awaited debut Sunday at Raymond James Stadium.

Freeman, the 17th overall draft pick, played two series in a 35-7 loss to the New England Patriots on Oct. |
